[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My family is dealing with a kid anaphylactic to nuts who is also prediabetic, and a kid with IBS symptoms for whom we're trying to eliminate then reintroduce foods. Our cooking has had to dramatically change over the years. We used to be "eat-anything" sort of people.

We are now trying to eat less sugar, less refined carbs, and yes, I am concerned with microplastics in our environment, because I'm a research scientist and I happen to follow endocrine changes in populations as they relate to environmental modifications.

[b]But since I know there are brutally ignorant people like OP [/b]out there, I don't ever discuss it. We do what we need to do. You do whatever the heck you want. End of story.

Or maybe you shouldn’t discuss it because we don’t care. Seriously not trying to be snarky but your kids IBS and pre diabetic diagnosis isn’t really my problem.  As a parent you need to be concerned with these things but it isn’t the responsibility of others. What do you want from these others? Should we all do exactly what you are doing in solidarity? I mean leave me alone with my Diet Coke and little Debbie’s. I’m not making you eat them. [/quote]

This!  [b]It’s hilarious that PP doesn’t discuss it because “people are ignorant.” [/b] Please. No one GAF about your family’s eating habits. THAT’S why you don’t discuss it. [/quote]

Seriously. I know exactly how bad a Coke is for me and I DGAF. Don't lecture me on the chemicals in soda and I will ignore all your kids' issues. [/quote]

Deal. But make sure you don't complain about how you need to lose 10 to 50 pounds while you slurp and eat crap all day.

Luckily I don't because I understand that having a Coke isn't inconsistent with being healthy. You realize that it's possible to eat healthy, work out, and have a Coke with lunch, right? But go ahead and keep depriving yourself of everything because you think that's the way to go. [/quote]

A Coke with lunch every day? That’s 9 teaspoons of sugar if it’s a 12 oz can, obviously more if it’s a larger serving which is what many people order.

No, I don’t think any responsible physician or nutritionist would endorse daily consumption of Coke or any other sugar laden fizzy drink. And more research is revealing that sugar substitutes are not without significant harm, so that’s not the answer either.

A healthy diet and lifestyle would include drinking water or unsweetened tea or coffee with lunch every day. [/quote]
